Wow. Itu ayat pertama kami keluar bila tengok gambar kasut futsal Nike yang baru nie. Memang cantik. Warna pun menarik. Memang Nike tak menghampakan bila dikira dari segi design.

Nike5 Zoom T-7 FS ini memang direka khas untuk mereka yang gemar main padang kecik. Kalau kat Malaysia nie, untuk mereka yang gemar main futsal lah kiranya.

Sila baca press release untuk makluman lebih lanjut. Dapat gaji nie confirm kitorang beli.

Small sided football players demand products that are flexible and durable. Their footwear must withstand four times the wear and tear that a regular football shoe would endure on the pitch, and it must provide ideal protection from impacts on the playing field. Inspired by the feedback from some of the top small sided players and the creativity of the team kits, footwear designer Doug Wilken, working very closely with fellow designers Tom Minami and Morgan Stauffer who were integral in the Nike5 product line, created the NIKE5 Zoom T-7 FS. The NIKE5 T-7 FS is a shoe crafted for the small-sided player seeking the best in fit, ball control, accuracy and traction on hard court surfaces.

To design the best possible shoe, Doug traveled to the Los Angeles’s King indoor futsal facility. There conducted focus groups with top-level players collecting insights and being inspired by heir major concerns. He understand that the players need an innovative product to help them achieve higher levels of performance—a shoe that will help them receive, control and distribute the ball in play while being more durable than any other football boot. By identifying critical areas of exposure, he has designed a shoe that selectively reinforces these key areas.

Doug used high-abrasion materials in the forefoot for durability and identified key areas of touch for the ball.Moving the lacing system off to the medial side opened up more area on the foot, which is beneficial since small sided players tend to use much of their foot. A smoother Swoosh design on the medial side gives the athletes an improved surface to play with. The upper, engineered with kangaroo leather, gives the shoe a professional look.

Due to the quick play of futsal, a player’s shooting time is usually not long enough to allow the leg to swing as it does in football. Consequently, athletes flick the ball more often. Doug reinforced the toe with a bumper that’s designed for increased ball control and shooting accuracy. Rubber in the heel allows for more heel kicks. Knowing that players also work with the bottom of the foot by trapping the ball, Doug created an outsole with a pattern that allows the foot to flex around the ball.

Doug graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in industrial design. While he was working on his senior thesis, Doug got his first opportunity to work with Nike: he designed a shoe for the women’s category. He first joined Nike as part of the model shop, a job that gave him good grounding in footwear design; later, he joined the cleated category, where he designed American football, baseball, softball, lacrosse and wrestling products for more than six years. He has been designing for the football category for the past two years.

Crafted for the small-sided player seeking the best in fit, traction, ball control and accuracy.

Nike recently unveiled the highly anticipated Manchester United new Club Kit 2009/10. Even more exciting is the news that the red Devils will Manchester United Vs Malaysia match happening on the 18 July 2009!recognizes both their glorious history at Old Trafford in the ground’s centenary year and the Club’s ferocious fighting spirit and ability to intimidate opponents.

With a tremendous following of fans in Malaysia, Nike Malaysia is organizing an exclusive pre order promotion for the new kits to ensure these die-hard supporters will have the opportunity to be clad in the new team colours when the Red Devils touch down in Kuala Lumpur.

Customers who purchase the new kits via the pre order promotion will stand a chance to win tickets to the Manchester United Vs Malaysia Game, training passes and the chance to meet the stars from the team at an exclusive Nike5 event.

Pre orders for the jersey will start from 1 to 13 July 2009 at Nike outlets located at Sunway Pyramid, Pavilion KL, Mid Valley Megamall, Suria KLCC, One Utama and Ikhsan stores at Bukit Bintang Plaza, Sunway Pyramid, Alamanda and Shah Alam.

The new kit features a large black chevron across the chest, which echoes the same pattern United wore on their shirts during the 1909-10 season when Old Trafford first opened. The distinctive angle of the chevron also directly replicates the one found at the bottom of the club crest containing United’s red devil.

The chevron is in black, and not the more traditional white, to augment the upper chest area of the shirt and give United players an even bigger and more intimidating appearance. The entire back of the shirt has an engineered mesh, which is a series of small chevrons, a performance feature to offer players even greater ventilation during games.

As with all Nike products, technology is key and is apparent in this shirt.The shirt is made from Nike Dri-Fit fabric, which keeps players drier, cooler and lighter by drawing sweat from the body to the fabric’s surface, while its three-dimensional construction gives more air space around the skin to reduce clinging.

The home shorts are white with a red stripe along the side, a graphic of a red devil is on the back of the waist band and the draw cords feature MUFC on the tips. The socks are black with a red chevron on the calf.

The new United away kit retains the same distinctive features as the home kit, and consists of a black shirt with a royal blue chevron on the chest, black shorts with a royal blue stripe on the sides and black socks with a royal blue chevron on the calf.
